There are a few places that list one available, like Benevento, but I've never seen one in person. With the grille attached to the hood, I don't know how they'd do it.
it attaches to the sides of the grille, but not along the grille.
did you mean something like this?

Huh, doesn't look that bad.
Lexus never made one, they are all from aftermarket companies.
Here's the one I found awhile back.

I found this for a LX470. I have a WeatherTech bug shield on my Tacoma that has kept it from picking up gravel chips. It diverts air up away from the windshield so small flying objects keep flying.
Would be nice to make one for a Cruiser fit the LX.

I just ordered one of the OMAC bug deflectors. For $89 let's see how it goes.

How is the quality and ease of installation. How is it holding upI received the OMAC deflector. It looks to be of decent quality. I would like to install it in warmer weather. I can't complain about $89.90 shipped.
I will be following the pictures instead of the installation text.

So far so good. I hear the eBay sold versions come with instructions in English.
For those who are looking for English instructions:
They actually provide clear plastic stickers where the mounting tabs go!
UPDATE: For anyone buying a bug guard/deflector from this company, this model, be aware of a slight issue with the deflector. The very center of the deflector has a slight raised up bow in it. It’s not a lot, but it is noticeable. As such the company has modified the installation to include four velcro 3M pieces to tape to the center area in an effort to hold down the center better; it does not work as well as they intended it should. After two weeks of back and forth emails, trying to have the company do an exchange, they finally offered me a 50% refund, which I accepted after much thought.
I really like the deflector as it's well built and looks good. I believe it will help to add some protection across the front line of the hood and possibly help to deflect debris. It gives a visual contrast to the otherwise tapered down look of the hood, and looks good, to my wife and I. The deformity, defect, raised up center, whatever one would call it, is minimal, albeit noticeable, but not enough to do without the deflector. I figured that since they updated the install and instructions, and included the velcro, they very well are aware of the issue, so replacing it with another one would only bring the same issue to my garage. So, I accepted the partial refund of $57. My choice and it’s nice to have one.
